New U.S. State Department Syria Covert Operation: ‘The Seven Americans’

Inside Syria Media Center - According to the New York Times,
the U.S. Administration sends a group of civilians to Syria with the
aim to try to restore stability in some areas. In particular, the issue
at stake here is about territories liberated from ISIS by the so-called
and U.S. – supported moderate opposition.

The New York Times claims the group consists of seven people from the
U.S. State Department and security services. The purpose of the mission
is allegedly to prevent the humanitarian crisis and to help the Syrians
to return home. ‘Specialists’ will have to organize work on cleaning up
the territories from roadside bombs left behind by the terrorists, to
restore electricity and to gain access to drinking water. (Does State Department
have such specialists?) It is noticed also that information about this
step and about the deadlines (time frames of the action) was not made
public.

The more so, sending such a small group leaves open the question of
whether these efforts will be sufficient to solve the complex task of
restoring normal conditions for the lives of millions of Syrians or not.

In fact, it is not entirely clear how the seven representatives of the U.S. State Department and the U.S. security
services will be able to organize works on cleaning up the territories
from bombs and restoring civil infrastructure, not to mention such a
vast territory. There should be much more specialists to carry out such
the objectives. In addition, they must be narrowly specialized and
experienced in this field.

“This is a minimalist approach and the problems that may arise would require more significant efforts,” said James Dobbins, the former U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

At present the mission looks not like as a humanitarian action, but
as some kind of a covert operation with the aim, for example, to conduct
separate peace negotiations. We can only guess who, when and why will
be sent to Syria.
